I really like flouro for worm fishing.... on the whole spool. With a graphite rod and flouro you can feel the smallest of bites... it is amazing when you get used to it. And, when I first started using it, I did loose some fish on the hook sets, but I leaned to tie the knots. Saturday, I hung a fish that ran under the boat and got caught in a spit in my keel guard... this was a 4 1/2 pound fish.. it pulled and I let it have line.. after 2 or 3 minutes, it finally came off the keel and I boated it. I checked the line and there wasn't a blemish on it.. I was amazed.. this was Vanish Flourocarbon... which is what some guys say happens to your fish when you use it (they vanish).. but I like it... can't beat it for the feel.

Here is what I learned - springtime bass have bigger sharper teeth - maybe eaten crawdads sharpen them up or something I don't know. Was using 12 pound xl on a spinning rod throwing a 1/16 jig with some bigger than usual bass eating it. I got the first one in ok - 4-8 next one was bigger - I felt her head turn and my line came back at me (teeth) she jumped at the boat and threw my jig right back at me . Next fish I caught was 5 or so - my line was chewed up at her mouth fixen to brake. Her teeth were sharp could cut my finger. After the bite quit I had missed 3 quality fish. So I went to a Jasper deal Where Chad Morgenthaler was there with his boat speaking about fishing. Was pretty cool cause he was showing us stuff and answering questions. To make a long story short when I asked about loosing fish like I did he said why was I not using flouro and I said ( I am not paying 20 bucks a spool for line ) he said how much could you have won with the 3 5 pounders you lost - I said a couple grand - he said ok with flouro you probably would have caught those fish ? He was right - I fish lighter line and smaller stuff a lot - had fish stuck around steel cables - wood dock posts - sharper teeth whatever and have not lost as many fish as I did that one day since I started using it. My favorite is invizx don't like bass pros or sunline fc sniper - p line was stiff - red lable is ok but stiff to - just bought some stren for 9.99 but have not used it yet. I use backing and about 60 yards of flouro. Just my opinion hope it helps. I can tell ya how it works on the coast if ya want. Fish the pins a lot - oso bay and around port a - fun fun .

I started fishing it 3 years ago. I didn't understand what all the fuss was about until I tried it, the sensitivity was so much better than mono but I did have to try a few different brands before finding one that had good knot strength. I use Seaguar and I do the full spool

Just get you some seaguar invisx, you wont look back....

Pretty much all I use. I love it. Sensitive, nearly invisible, strong and if it is maintained it won't coil up and will last a long time.

I'll never use floro again. It's way too brittle, ALL of them are. And I just don't like how it feels on the reel. If you want something stronger and more sensitive than mono, get some good copoly like P line. And yes, you can use it in the salt just fine.

Berkeley Vanish, great line, all I use if I have a choice. My experience with Invizx has been random kinks / breaks middle of spool for no explainable reason.

Same!

Hey Slade what do you mean by miantaining the line?

Yes Slade, how do I maintain my line ?

Won't find me throwing fluoro anywhere near an oyster reef/shell bed etc. Only benefit over mono is it's density but the pay off is it weakens easily, a kink in the line or small abrasion and it's going to break.

Bass feeding on shad and other bait fish will have sharper teeth. Bass feeding a lot on crawfish and other critters with shells will have their teeth ground down by the hard shells.

I'm like many others here.
I don't like it. I've tried numerous brands over the years and I can say it has improved but it still sucks, in my opinion.

Mono / co-polymer and braid are enough for me.

Invizx is good fluorocarbon line.

Seaguar InvisX is literally all I use except of the following
